Native Instruments Announce New Komplete 14 Suite of Plugin Instruments and Tools

Native Instruments have announced a major new version of Komplete that is set to be available by late September. The new version includes the new Kontakt 7, and Ozone 10 standard from iZotope as well as a suite of new creative tools from Plug-in Alliance and Brainworx. Komplete 14 also bundles the latest software releases like Playbox, all of the Play Series Collection instruments, Piano Colours, Action Strings and more. There’s also a tonne of new Expansions included as well as the ability to integrate this into existing hardware. Here are some more details:

Kontakt 7:

NI are yet to reveal all the details, but they tell us that there will be a “new HiDPI browsing experience, an overhauled Factory Library, new creative effects, and under-the-hood audio improvements”. Looks like they are improving the browsing function and experience in Kontakt. Kontakt continues to be one of the best-sampled Instruments available, so we’re keen to see how they have updated this powerful instrument loved by soooooo many.

With NI now firmly under the Sound Wide banner, Komplete 14 will be the first edition of Komplete to include third-party software from iZotope, Plug-in Alliance and Brainworx, including:

· iZotope Ozone 10 Standard mastering plugin, offers AI-powered assistive technology.

· Brainworx bx_Oberhausen, Knifonium, bx_Crispytuner

· Unfiltered LO-FI-AF

· Brainworx bx-Console Focusrite SC, bx_Console N, and more.

If you’ve had your finger on the pulse, you’d notice how many new instruments and creative tools NI have released since K13. Many of these will be bundled into Komplete 14, making it a go-to suite for sound and music creatives. The bundle will include instruments such as:
